Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Fu Runing saw that the police began to seriously question Xiao Jingting. If the matter really got out of hand, who knows if it would reach the ears of Xiao's family. She immediately got up from the ground and dusted herself off.

It will be bad if the show is over.

"Uncle police, we won't argue anymore, please stop scolding him..."

When Fu Runing said this, tears were on her face and her voice was filled with tears.

As soon as these words were spoken, the police officer's tone of lecture became even harsher: "Look at your wife, she's still speaking up for you. As a man, can't you give in to your wife a little? You're arguing by the river, and if something bad happens, you'll regret it!"

Seeing Xiao Jingting still standing there with a sullen face, Fu Runing quickly tugged at his sleeve to get him to say something.

Xiao Jingting responded expressionlessly: “Okay, we won’t argue anymore.”

The patrolman gave them both a lecture and watched them get into the car and drive away from the river before he let it go.

……

Fu Runing looked at the current time, it was 8:30 in the evening.

She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood. When the nasal sound could no longer be heard, she called her father back.

She told her father that she would not go with him tonight.

Fu Zhangnan didn't ask her any more questions, but just said regretfully: "Dad didn't make you red bean dumplings this year. Can I make it up to you on your birthday next year?"

Fu Runing smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, you have to keep your word and not lie to a child."

"Do not lie to you."

She didn't dare say much to her father. She said a few words hurriedly and then made up an excuse to hang up the phone.

The moment she put down her phone, she couldn't hold back her tears.

next year……

She really hopes that her father will still be there on her birthday next year.

The car door was slightly open, and Xiao Jingting could hear suppressed crying coming from inside.

From childhood to adulthood, Fu Runing cared about many people, including her father, second uncle and aunt, cousin, next-door neighbor, and childhood friend. There were always many people around her who loved her.

And what is he?

A wild dog nearly drowned in the mud.

Xiao Jingting stood outside the car, listening to her crying gradually weakening. After a while, only some slight sobbing sounds remained.

After a moment, Fu Runing opened the car door and walked out.

She walked up to Xiao Jingting and met his deep and slightly cold eyes.

She slowly said, "I didn't think this whole thing through. I should have torn up that damn divorce agreement and thrown it away. I'm involved in this, but we agreed to put my dad at ease..."

Xiao Jingting's eyebrows were cold, and his voice was calm: "Fu Runing, I am not you, who does things without considering the consequences."

She lowered her eyelashes slightly and did not refute anything.

I have always needed his help, so why make a fuss?

Fu Runing changed the subject and asked, "Does your family know about this?"

Xiao Jingting looked at her calmly without saying a word.

Do you even need to ask?

The fact that he came to her and vented his anger showed that the matter had spread a long time ago.

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go home. There has to be an explanation for this."

The show hasn't ended yet, so we have to keep singing.

……

Xiyuan.

The ancestral hall in the backyard was brightly lit.

At this time in the past, the old man and the old lady of the Xiao family would have gone to bed long ago, but now they are gathered in the ancestral hall.

Old Master Xiao sat upright on the main seat, with a yawning old lady next to him.

There was also Weng Yuqing, who was pacing back and forth restlessly.

"Dad, Mom, tell me, Ruirui's surname is Xiao no matter what. How could she do something that would let the Xiao family down? You two have watched her grow up. Don't you know what kind of character she is?"

"This Jingting is really something. Without asking any questions, he framed Ruirui for suspected infringement of trade secrets and even called the police to arrest Ruirui. How could he do such a thing? They are siblings..."

Weng Yuqing's words were full of dissatisfaction with Xiao Jingting. She had just learned about the divorce agreement this afternoon and was planning to exaggerate it when she came back to tell the old man and the old lady. However, before she had the chance to say anything, she heard that something had happened in the evening.

Xiao Jingting called the police and had Xiao Qinrui arrested.

It just so happened that Xiao Hongshen was still out of town at that time. By the time I hurriedly contacted Xiao Hongshen to come back, it was already this time.

Weng Yuqing glanced at the old lady next to her who looked sleepy and didn't want to pay attention to her, then turned around and cried to the old man.

"Dad, you have to seek justice for Ruirui. How could Jingting bully others like this? Isn't he just being reckless?"

Old Master Xiao looked at the butler Yue Zhong beside him and said angrily, "Keep calling Jing Ting until he picks up. Also, has Xiao Hongshen been sidelined by his son? He took a lawyer to rescue someone and still hasn't come back? I think he should just quit and retire early to go fishing!"

"Calm down, old man. Mr. Gang has already said that he has received the young lady's call, but the young master hasn't answered the phone yet..."

While talking, Yue Zhong made another phone call, but as expected, the call was not connected.

It has been a long time since so many people gathered in this ancestral hall at this time. I'm afraid that the family rules will be violated tonight.

Ten minutes later.

Xiao Hongshen brought Xiao Qinrui back home. Before they even had time to drink a sip of water, they were "invited" to the ancestral hall.

When Weng Yuqing saw his daughter return, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Ruirui, are you okay? Grandpa and grandma are here. Talk to them, they'll definitely seek justice for you!"

Xiao Qinrui had been in the police station for so long, she was covered in dust and was about to explode with anger.

"Mom, Big Brother just doesn't like me and is taking revenge on me. How could I possibly touch Xiao's business secrets? If Big Brother can't tolerate me, he should have just said it earlier. Why bother with all this..."

Xiao Qinrui looked at the old man aggrievedly, "Grandpa..."

However, she had just said these two words when she heard the old man say sternly: "Kneel down."

Xiao Qinrui was stunned.

Why did you make her kneel right away?

Weng Yuqing protected his daughter, "Dad, what are you doing? What did Ruirui do wrong? The matter is not clear yet. Why hasn't Jingting come back yet? Is he trying to avoid responsibility and run away?"

As they were talking, the door of the ancestral hall was opened again.

Everyone looked up and saw Xiao Jingting and Fu Runing walking in under the moonlight.

The night in early spring is filled with chill.

Fu Runing rubbed her hands which were slightly stiff from the cold. She took the initiative to hold the hand of the man next to her and interlocked her fingers with his.

The man's palm was dry and warm, and he passed that warmth to her inch by inch.

Fu Runing walked up to Old Man Xiao, let go of the man's hand, said nothing, straightened her back, bent her legs and knelt down.

In the lobby of the Xiao family ancestral hall, the floor tiles were cold and hard.

In front of everyone, she said calmly, "Grandpa, Jing Ting did nothing wrong. If you want to blame someone, just blame me."
